Will this work for my d5000? What would the cons be? better choice than the Nikon 24 70mm because my 5000 isn't full frame?

The sigma 24-70 is also for full frame (DG), but yes, it'll work with the d5000 and it's cheaper than the nikon.

Yep, this lens will work great with almost any Nikon DSLR. The only cameras it will have a problem with are D40, D60, D40X, and some of the newer crop-sensor cameras that inherit the D40s lack of internal focusing motor. Every Full-Frame DSLR has this motor, so no worries with the D700. I used this with my D50 in the past and kept it when I moved up to the D800. It's a great lens and it accounts for over 95% of my landscape work.On a full-frame sensor, it can handle 1 normal-thickness 77mm filter without vignetting. I've used it with a Circular Polarizer and it starts to vignette just a little bit at 17mm. Yep, this lens will work great with almost any Nikon DSLR.

I cannot answer for the D5000, but the CLM-V55 works fine on my D7000. here's the confusing problem: it does not work with my newer D7100! Virtually the same camera (The 7100 is newer) and both have HDMI ports, but the monitor only works with the older camera.

I have a d700 and it has worked wonderfully with it. No issues at all, I've used it multiple times.

yes this lens will work on a d700 and a d300s both those cameras have a motor that will work the AF system. It will not work properly on the lesser models like d5100 or d3200. Just remember there is cropping with those two camera for any lens you use so the effective range is 42-105 2.8. I bought this lens a few month ago and it is way awesome and better in my opinion than the 24-70 2.8

Yes it does! I have a D200 and it works great. It's not the "best" lens, but it is a great starter lens. I would recommend a lens that has a wider range, since 55mm is not a great amount of zoom. Currently, I am looking at a lens that has a range from 18mm-200mm. It makes it easier to have a dynamic lens rather than having to switch out 2 (or more) lenses. Overall, this lens is a great starter kit - but there are better (albeit more expensive) options.

Yes; This lens is a really great buy to work with a D7000. There are some focus issues with D7000, but it could be resolved by fine tuning. I've been using this combination for the 4th year now.

I have no problems with it on my D7100. I have the 17-50 2.8 also, and that lens suffers from a weird issue where if you zoom into the image during playback, the pan buttons don't auto-repeat (you must press it yourself several times). That issue doe NOT affect the 50-150, and even if it did I find it a very small issue considering the image quality and price of the lens.

Hi, thanks question. This lens can not work for Nikon D3000, D5000, it's seriese. D3000 can work lens is " AF-S" model lens.Thanks in advance.

I would be very cautious about the 3100, 3200, 5100, and 5200 systems with certain lenses and converters. I know that when I bought my D7000 I chose it because it had greater backward and 3rd party compatibility. Best check with someone who used it with one of those bodies. Note: I was not at all happy with the Kenko 2.0 converter.

I love this little flash! i-TTL and inexpensive and gets the job done for amateur photographer. I have a D60 and I do believe that this will work on your D5000. They should have the same hot shoe setup, but I am not 100% sure. Give it a try. I have never had a problem returning things through Amazon. Great service.

The 24-70 is great for family portraits on the wider end. For individual portraits, and this may sound counter-intuitive, a 70-200 is better for the bokeh and getting in tight on your subject, but that's if you're shooting full frame. If you're using it on a DX body like the D5000, I think the range is ideal. As for the lens, it is an incredibly high image quality optic that can potentially stay with you forever as you upgrade from camera to camera. Good lenses are an investment. Mediocre lenses get replaced as your skills improve, pretty much like dslr bodies. I bought this to replace a Nikon 28-105, which I've happily retired. So, in short, buy this great lens if you plan to stay with Nikon bodies. The 24-70 is great for family portraits on the wider end.

I think you should be comparing this camera to Nikon's D70s, not the D50. I just bought the D70s after much comparison shopping with the Canon XT. I don't think you can go wrong either way. The deciding factor for me was the superior lens in the Nikon kit vs. the Canon which everyone agrees is practically a throw-away. So if you do decide on the Canon, at least buy the body only and upgrade your lens.

I have the D7000. I find that the lens works very well but you do have the "crop" situation since it's not a DX specific lens. I guess it gives you an effective focal length of about 85mm. It is a very good lens. I used it for general photography at a party recently on my D750. Got some great pictures.

From other blogs and such that I have been reading it fully supports auto focusing on the d5000. I am buying it because others have highly recommended it for that purpose to go with my new d5000. I will be sure to let you know after they both arrive and I have time to play with them a bit.
